Hi all
I am a 20 year old male. I attended an all day outdoor music festival this past Saturday and got a regular sunburn (red skin), even though I applied an SPF 30 sunscreen twice, once at the begining of the show, and again at the middle of the show. However, I was required to push carts outside for my job for two straight hours in the burning sun (It was more than 90 degrees in my estimate) two days after the music festival. Doing this caused thin wrinkles to appear on my forehead, and made my forehead feel very leathery. The rest of my body looks and feels normal. I usually stay indoors, but I usually retain a light dark complexion (I am Asian). I do, however, have dry skin. What should I do to get my forehead normal again? Are there any treatments that I can apply? Will my forehead be permanently wrinkled? Or should I just wait for my skin to shed? Will my forehead ever return to its normal condition? Please help!

The sun expsoure has created intense dryness. All you need to do is apply an excellent facial moisturizer and the wrinkles will disappear.
This happens to me in the winter with dry hands. They are all leathery and wrinkled and once I put moisture into the skin they are young and supple again.

I am not a dermatologist but use a really good moisturizer after washing face with a gentle soap. This will help your body maintain moisture in the area sunburned and to help replace the lost cells.
FYI: apply moisturizer so it still feels damp to the skin-do not rub it in. Leave a thin layer on skin at night to soak in.

The best wrinkle lotion that I have found is ROC. It repairs damage and takes away fine lines. Roc Deep Wrinkle Serum---give it a whirl and stay out of the sun when you are wearing it.
Stay out of the sun period if you can--peace.
*costs around 20 bucks.

Stay out of the sun dude... skin damage from sun exposure can cause skin cancer... any cancer is bad.
